Irrigators guaranteed water allocation for 15 years
27 Oct 2005
Victoria’s government said it would maintain farmers' irrigation entitlements for at least 15 years. Any qualification of rights would not take effect until at least 15 years after a new water bill before the state’s parliament became law. The Victorian Farmers Federation failed to ensure the 10 per cent of water entitlements that can be held by non-landholders under the reforms would be capped and protected for farm use.
